what did you expect but that i am still knitting happily away on my color affection scarf (you'll see a lot more of it in the coming weeks/possibly months, i promise!) i finished last week's book, the love child. now i started a book i read a couple of years ago already, Wild Swans by Jung Chang. it has been - and still is - one of the best books i have ever ever read. it was my mum's copy and i have always wanted to own the book as well, as i loved it so much and knew i would read it again. now my mum found an almost new copy at goodwill and handed her old, well-thumbed copy down to me. i am very happy and can't wait to sink into the story again. the last time i read it i was at uni and i could. not. put. it. down. i even read on the street walking to the subway!

p.s. i made a little more progress on my scarf than pictured above. this photo is from last week, i had just forgotten to post it ;)
